HID Cards - Which One Is Right for You

Secure, simple access is vital to a variety of business processes. They help you control building access, manage secure data, track attendance, and aid payments. There are so many models out there though, like HID iClass cards, DuoProxII, and iClass Key 205x. Which one is right for your workers?

To select the right HID card for your workers, start by assessing department needs and work conditions. More demanding the environments and longer-term retention positions benefit from the more durable cards. Likewise, workers who are easier on their badges and positions that gravitate towards frequent replacement help you benefit from lower-cost badges.

The HID DuoProx II is an excellent example of a durability powerhouse. It is made from a composite of 40% polyester/PVC, helping it stand up to harsher conditions and demanding use. As such, it also boasts a relatively lengthy lifespan. It is available in magnetic strip and proximity varieties. 

The HID iClasses are the workhorse of our industry. Adhesive stickers make them highly customizable, and their affordability make them applicable for most business environments. They are also available in 2k bit configurations for secure data transfer, which leads us to one of our biggest badges.

In addition to measuring badge longevity, you also need to assess badge use. Towards the high end, DuoProxII keyfobs operate without contact to provide secure access controls and authentications. Available in 2k, 16k, and 32k bit versions, they also are capable of transferring encrypted data according to your company's needs.

Ordering Level II Vendor Access Badges - What You Need

MedStar Health Vendor Access Cards, especially the level III class badges, are essential to your business and vital to its success. There are a number of necessary documents needed to order these, but that doesn’t mean the process has to be time-consuming. Expedite your order by employing this time-saving technique.

Begin by being ready to order. To do this, collect the following documents about the vendor in PDF, DOC, or DOCX format:

• Access Program Packet
• Substance Abuse Testing Document
• Criminal Background Check Document
• TB Test Results Document
• FLU Shot Document
• Measles/Rubella Immunization Document
• Chicken Pox (Varicella) Immunization Document
• Aseptic Technique Education Document
• Education/Certification on Service or Equipment Being Provided

In addition to these documents, you will need the vendor's badge photo. This can be collected in advance, in most cases. You will also want to collect the vendor's first and last name, company name, and MedStar region. The region will be Maryland, DC, or "all". To prepare, make a document with these items as notes.

Now that you have all of the information at hand, put it at your fingertips by assigning it a file folder on your work computer. Move each document to this folder separately, and make sure they are named accordingly. Remember, these must be in PDF, DOC, or DOCX format, and moving files is an excellent time to double-check this.
